| Dems fail to follow own advise on Judicial Nominees (Big Surprise) |
| 2003-11-14 |
| Tip to Zogyblog Here is would the Dem had to say about judicial nominees prior to President Bush: * Tom Harkin (D-IA) "Have the guts to come out and vote up or down
.And once and for all, put behind us this filibuster procedure on nominations." (Cong. Rec., 6/22/95, S8861) * Joseph Biden (D-DE) "everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a 
vote on the floor." (Cong. Rec., 3/19/97, S2540) * Richard Durbin (D-IL) "If, after 150 days languishing on the Executive Calendar that name has not been called for a vote, it should be. Vote the person up or down." (Cong. Rec., 9/28/98, S11021) * Carl Levin (D-MI) "If a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate is prepared to vote to confirm the President’s appointment, that vote should occur." (Cong. Rec., 6/21/95, S8806) * Edward Kennedy (Drunk-MA) "If our 
colleagues don’t like them, vote against them. But give them a vote." (Cong. Rec., 2/3/98, S292) * Dianne Feinstein (Dits-CA) "Let’s bring their nominations up, debate them if necessary, and vote them up or down." (Cong. Rec., 9/11/97, S9165) * Tom Daschle (Dimwit-SD) "I find it simply baffling that a Senator would vote against even voting on a judicial nomination." (Cong. Rec., 10/5/99, S11919) * Patrick Leahy (Dork-VT) "I have stated over and over again 
that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported." (Cong. Rec, 6/18/98, S6521) * Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) The filibuster "has unfortunately become a commonplace tactic to thwart the will of the majority." (Cong. Rec., 1/4/95, S36) Of course NOW that advise is null and void because of the ’EXTREME’ nature of teh Bush appointees. He appointed a Black, Hispanic, Females, and a Catholic! Very extreme choices. |

| #9 Now that raping, murdering drunkard from Massachussetts has referred to these nominees as "neanderthals." Man, the vitriol, bitterness, and intolerance from the 'progressives' is making them insane. Somebody give Teddy a bottle of Dewar's, he's going into shock from going 39 hours without a drink! |

| #7 * Tom Daschle (Dimwit-SD) "I find it simply baffling that a Senator would vote against even voting on a judicial nomination." (Cong. Rec., 10/5/99, S11919) * Patrick Leahy (Dork-VT) "I have stated over and over again … that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported." (Cong. Rec, 6/18/98, S6521) * Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) The filibuster "has unfortunately become a commonplace tactic to thwart the will of the majority." (Cong. Rec., 1/4/95, S36) Very interesting. |

| #5 I'm hoping that transcripts from the filibuster are used in campaigns. There should be some incoherent stuff in the recors around hour 18 and beyond. |

| #3 The GOPers really, REALLY need to get this type of story out there and really start exposing the incredible hypocrisy of the socialists. At least California and S. Dakota should pull their heads out and kick those scumbags out of office. Absolutely ridiculous. And oh yeah, the liberals really hate it when the blacks get off the plantation, don't they? |

| #2 I bet there a lot of people learning to hate the internet now that their old comments can be dredged up by almost anyone and their hippocracy displayed. |

| #1 Good post Cyber Sarge. The only up or down vote needs to be getting some of these schmucks outta office. My home state is responsible for Levin but the great state of Mass has had forever to get rid of that boozing blow-hard...... |
